I've been tasked with buying a bottle of Blue Nun wine. Not for me, i might add, but for the other halfs party. However my Google-fu is failing and I cannot seem to find a store that has one in shock.
So, I'm seeking the knowledge of the PH collective, do you know where I can buy a bottle of the elusive Blue Nun?
TIA

I've just checked Vivino and there's nothing available in the UK which seems very strange - I even checked and there's even 2 bottles of Petrus '94 available.

If it's for a vintage party type of thing this basically has the look and is from the same area of Germany -

The party theme is The Sound of Music. The Blue Nun is linked to the main character, so unfortunately it needs to be this.

The Store finder points me to the likes of Tesco and Asda, which are all out of stock frown

Print the label off & stick it on to something actually drinkable?

Not a bad idea. The Blue Nun is supposed to be the consolation prize.
I suggested a bottle of Jeigermister, awful stuff and German. Which would be far easier to obtain.

Waitrose had some a few days ago. I actually picked it up and looked at it as its such a novelty now.
